Science Exploration Series ☘️ Restoring Our Roots

Learn a bit about a science during your gameday weekends this fall! Delivered by dynamic Notre Dame faculty, postdocs, and guests, the Science Exploration Series topics will spark your interest in a variety of scientific fields. These Friday talks are geared for general audiences.

Restoring Our Roots: Can tallgrass prairie restoration make us more human?

🌾 Explore how evolution of humans in grasslands shapes us. What does it mean that in the U.S. we have lost 95% of our native grasslands? Can restoring prairie habitats make us more human?

👤 Presenter: Ryan Sensenig, professor of the practice, Department of Biological Sciences

This year we will be joining the University of Notre Dame Alumni Association at the Eck Visitors Center on Notre Dame Avenue.
Presentations run from 3 – 3:30 p.m., with hands-on activities before most talks!

Free and open to the public.
